18 2016-17 NEBRASKA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL WNBA TALENT PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS Nebraska players have made an impact in recent years in the WNBA. In fact, over the last six years four Huskers have been chosen in the WNBA Draft, including No. 13 overall pick and first-team All-American Jordan Hooper (opposite page, top) in 2014. In 2010, first-team All-American Kelsey Griffin (top left) claimed the No. 3 overall pick in the WNBA Draft. In her first season with the Connecticut Sun, Griffin earned one of five spots on the 2010 WNBA All-Rookie Team. Griffin was No. 2 in rebounding among all rookies. Griffin completed her fifth WNBA season in 2014. Point guard Lindsey Moore (bottom left) became Nebraska's third WNBA first-round draft pick in history in 2013, going to the Minnesota Lynx with the No. 12 pick. Moore helped the Lynx win the WNBA title in her rookie season. Husker forward Cory Montgomery was a third-round WNBA pick of the New York Liberty in 2010. She continued her pro career in Europe and Australia. In 2008, Husker forward Danielle Page earned a WNBA spot as a free agent with the Connecticut Sun. Page spent the entire 2008 season with the Sun before spending her past eight seasons as one of the top players in Europe. Page became the first Husker to win an Olympic medal when she captured bronze with Serbia in 2016. In 2007, three-time first-team All-Big 12 guard Kiera Hardy was drafted in the third round by the Connecticut Sun. Hardy did not earn a final roster spot with the Sun, but spent two professional seasons overseas. Chelsea Aubry enjoyed success at the international level. The 6-2 forward led Team Canada to the World Championships in 2006 and 2010, before becoming the first Husker to play in the Olympics in 2012. A Canadian captain, Aubry was a National Team member from 2005 to 2012, and played professionally in Australia with Kelsey Griffin for the WNBL champion Bendigo Spirit. Anna DeForge (opposite page, bottom) enjoyed a long professional career after earning All-America honors at Nebraska in 1998. DeForge was an all-star for Indiana in 2007, after earning her first all-star nod with the Phoenix Mercury in 2004. DeForge also played professionally in Europe for 15 years. The Huskers' first WNBA draft pick was Nebraskan Nicole Kubik. The 5-10 guard from Cambridge was NU's first WNBA first-round pick in 2000, and made her pro debut with the Phoenix Mercury in 2000.

    Season Review

    HANNAH WHITISH SEASON REVIEW 104 2017-18 NEBRASKA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL HUSKERS BEGIN REBUILDING UNDER WILLIAMS The Nebraska women's basketball team opened a new era with the first season for Head Coach Amy Williams in 2016-17. The Huskers were challenged by injuries, an inexperienced roster and a rugged non-conference schedule. Despite struggling to a 7-22 overall record during the season, the Huskers stayed with the process and continued to grow throughout the season. By the end of the regular season, the Huskers were clearly playing their best basketball, knocking off a pair of top-60 RPI teams - Michigan State and Indiana - at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Nebraska, which managed a 3-13 Big Ten Conference record, closed the regular season with a thrilling 76-74 overtime victory over NCAA Tournament-bound Michigan State on Feb. 26. The win for the Huskers over the Spartans avenged a 20-point loss at Michigan State on Jan. 7, a testament to Nebraska's growth and improvement during the season. "Obviously, we would have liked to find a few more 'W's' during the course of the season, but sometimes the building process and the growth process take time," Williams said. "We had some young players in our program really start to buy in, and you saw them grow throughout the season. That is exciting for the future of our program, but we know we still have lots of growing to do." A key to that growth came with the emergence of guard Hannah Whitish. The 5-9 freshman from Barneveld, Wis., erupted for a career-high 24 points to go along with five rebounds, five assists against just one turnover, and added a steal in the win over the Spartans.
